		Some prophesies are found in the Book of Mormon.
		For example, the crucifixion of the Christ is predicted:
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>1 Nephi 19:8</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				And behold he cometh, according to the words of the angel, in six hundred years from the time my father left Jerusalem.
			</p>
		</blockquote>
	</div>
	<p>
		If you assume the Book of Mormon to be true, this is amazing.
		About six hundred years before this happens, it&apos;s been written.
		Keep in mind there&apos;s no evidence that they Book of Mormon was written by anyone other than Joseph Smith though.
		In other words, it&apos;s not a prediction of the future; it&apos;s a prediction of the past cleverly disguised as a past prediction of the future.
		It makes the Book of Mormon seem more divinely inspired, as it&apos;s telling what supposedly hadn&apos;t happened yet.
		But in the end, there&apos;s no reason to believe that&apos;s anything more than a trick.
